Description
An Instant New York Times Bestseller "Drama, mystery, and intrigue" (PureWow) unfold in this instant New York Times bestseller about estranged siblings chasing a fifty-year-old secret that shaped their father's mysterious life--and death--in this "emotionally charged and unforgettable story" (E!) from the author of The Last Thing He Told Me. Liam Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar--notably, a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast where he fell to his death. The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora and her estranged brother Sam have other ideas. As Nora and Sam form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father's past and uncover a family secret that changes everything. With Laura Dave's trademark blend of soulful suspense and evocative family drama, The Night We Lost Him is a riveting page-turner with a heartbreaking final twist that you will never see coming.

Reviews
"In The Night We Lost Him, Laura Dave pivots away slightly from mystery while leaning into the emotional ballast that set her last novel apart... With the perfect mix of heart-pounding and heartfelt, Dave lets the secrets emerge, uses architecture as a striking analogy for relationship-building, and delivers yet another suspenseful page-turner." --Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor
